ElevenLabs Previews Interaction Engine for Conversational Agent Orchestration

Interaction Engine routes requests across models based on complexity: simple requests are handled by less expensive models, while complex tasks such as processing refunds are escalated to frontier models. This routing approach is designed to deliver the right outcome without overspending on tokens, combining cost efficiency with capability where it matters.

The product targets developers building voice and conversational agents, an area where model costs can scale quickly with call volume. A tiered routing layer like this lets teams keep per-conversation costs down while reserving premium model capacity for high-stakes interactions.

At the ElevenLabs Summit, @mati previewed Interaction Engine, a new system that composes and orchestrates the models behind conversational agents. It uses less expensive models for simple requests and frontier models for complex ones like refunds, so you get the right outcome without overspending on tokens.
